I am searching for the best weight plates for outdoor garage gyms in the UK. My garage is quite damp and I am worried that standard iron plates will just turn into a pile of rust in a single season. I have been looking at urethane coated plates but they are very expensive.

I want a plate that can handle the moisture without needing constant maintenance. I am also considering rubber coated iron plates but I have heard the rubber can sometimes peel off if it gets too cold.

What are you all using in your UK garage gyms? Do you find that a good coat of spray paint is enough to protect cheaper iron plates or is it worth the investment in something more durable? I would love to hear your survival tips for training in our climate!
